At nightfall, Wang Chen met Xi Wanhai who came to pay a visit in Tianshi Pavilion.
Xi Wanhai is the head of the Da Ying Xi family, Xi Manyun's biological father, and a fifth-level cultivator in the Zi Mansion.
And this Master of Zi Mansion was invited by Xi Manyun when he returned to the Xi family.
Among the many local forces in Da Ying City, the Xi family ranks in the middle and upper reaches in strength and scale, with a total of two Zifus in the family.
It's just that one of the elders of the Purple Mansion is approaching the end of his life, and there is no one in the new generation who can break through the orifice and open the mansion. Therefore, he is faced with a situation of inconsistency, and his momentum is far less powerful than before.
Otherwise, Xi Manyun would not be in a difficult situation in Shangxuntian Master Pavilion.
If Xi Manyun wants to make a difference and take over the pie left by Wang Chen, it is far from enough to rely on her own strength. It is completely reasonable to ask her father.
Xi Wanhai also expressed his attitude to Wang Chen, supporting Xi Manyun to take over Xiang Yingzhe's business and help his daughter to rise to power!
"Wang Tianshi, our Xi family is willing to serve you."
The head of the Xi family said frankly and honestly: "It's just that the Wu family is powerful and has the support of the Chief Heavenly Master. What we can do is limited. I hope the Heavenly Master will understand."
Wang Chen doesn't have Long Aotian's aura, which can make people obey him as soon as he turns it on.
It is absolutely impossible for a person like Xi Wanhai to put his family's future and destiny on Wang Chen, a new Celestial Master with no foundation.
He is willing to support Wang Chen in exchange for the opportunity to control one lane and five streets and expand the family's power.
But this support is provided on the basis of ensuring the safety of one's own home.
This means that the Xi family cannot openly confront the Wu family, nor dare they go against the wishes of the General Suppressing Tianshi Mansion.
After all, Wang Chen only stayed here for three years.
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Chen never thought that he could subdue the Xi family by throwing out a piece of cake.
In fact, Xi Wanhai's cautious attitude was what he needed.
If the other party is a simple-minded and reckless person, then it will be Wang Chen's biggest trouble!
Wang Chen wooed the Xi family and used Xiang Yingzhe to kill chickens and monkeys. The ultimate goal was to suppress the local snakes represented by Wu Jingwei.
Let yourself go through three years smoothly.
In order to expect the Xi family to charge into the battle, he might as well take action himself and use Qianji to kill all the rebels.
The first thing Wang Chen asked the Xi family to do was to replace the servants and maids in the Xuntian Master Pavilion, and select a group of elites to act as guards.
The previous Heavenly Master was incompetent and allowed Wu Jingwei to take over the power. I don’t know how much sand was mixed into the Tianshi Pavilion.
Wang Chen couldn't accurately judge how many other people's spies among these servants and maids were.
Simply replace them all.
Even if you rely entirely on the Xi family, there are still hidden dangers, but it is better than not doing anything.
And through such personnel replacement, Wang Chen's authority as the guardian of the heavenly master can be further strengthened!
In fact, what is more important is the five hundred patrol guards affiliated with Shangxun Tianshi Pavilion.
It is said that there are many children of the Wu family inside.
But you have to eat your food one bite at a time. If you take too big steps and make too vigorous movements, it is easy for people to find opportunities to cause trouble.
So figure it out slowly.
Wang Chen and Xi Wanhai talked for two full hours before finalizing the details of the cooperation between the two parties.
Through the head of the Xi family, Wang Chen also gained a more in-depth understanding of Da Ying City and the Xun City District under his jurisdiction.
After the meeting, he personally escorted Xi Wanhai out of Tianshi Pavilion.
The first thing Xi Wanhai did when he returned home was to summon Xi Manyun to him.
"I have already reached an agreement with Wang Tianshi."
He said to his beloved daughter: "You go ahead and do it, and I will deploy a group of reliable people to support you."
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Xi Manyun was immediately overjoyed and his smile was as beautiful as a flower.
"Don't be too happy too early."
Xi Wanhai couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "It's impossible for the Wu family to be kind.
If you give up, the Xiang family will definitely cause trouble, so you have to be prepared and don’t allow others to take advantage of you."
Xi Manyun nodded: "Don't worry, my daughter has her own sense of proportion."
She invited Wan Hai to attend the meeting with Wang Chen, so she was naturally mentally prepared to face the challenge.
It is certainly not an easy task to truly hold Yifangwujie in your hands.
Seeing the expression on his beloved daughter's face, Xi Wanhai's heart moved: "Yun'er, what do you think of Wang Tianshi?"
Xi Manyun was stunned: "What do you think?"
She understood immediately and couldn't help but blush: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Xi Wanhai smiled and said: "This new Celestial Master has already achieved enlightenment at a young age. He has a promising golden elixir in the future, and his appearance is remarkable. You should really consider it."
The idea of the head of the Xi family is actually very realistic.
The biggest problem of the Xi family at present is the lack of support. Once the elder of the Zi Mansion passes away, it will be difficult for him as a master to support the current situation, let alone forge ahead.
But if Xi Manyun could become a Taoist couple with Wang Chen, the situation would be completely different.
Considering Wang Chen's age and the full support of the Xi family, the position of Chief Heavenly Master is not necessarily unthinkable.
Taking a step back, the Xi family can also get a Zifu with a bright future.
There is no problem in holding on to the family business.
It was with this thought that Xi Wanhai was willing to accept the olive branch offered by Wang Chen.
"I'm ignoring you!"
Xi Manyun was shy and anxious, completely losing his usual reserve and calmness. He turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.
Xi Wanhai burst into laughter.
He knew very well that no matter how embarrassed Xi Manyun was right now, she would weigh the pros and cons when she calmed down.
No need to beat the drum by yourself.
The head of the Xi family shook his head, put aside his thoughts, and then carefully considered the issue of personnel arrangements.
This was the first thing he did for Wang Chen, so he couldn't do it wrong!
But Wang Chen didn't know that Xi Wanhai actually had the idea of bringing himself and Xi Manyun into a Taoist couple.
He stayed in Shangxuntian Master Pavilion for seven days, and waited until the maids and guards in the palace were replaced and the internal affairs were sorted out before he started to take the next step.
During this period, the person in charge, Wu Jingwei, did not make any move, as if he had already given in to Wang Chen.
Even the Xiang family, as the "owners of suffering", seemed to admit that they were unlucky and handed over the management rights of one lane and five streets to the Xi family.
The change of power, which should have been a storm, turned out to be calm.
But Wang Chen was not complacent, but instead became deeply vigilant.
There was no response from the General Zhen Tianshi Mansion above, and the local families below shrank their heads. Wang Chen himself did not believe that it was because of his great reputation that he suppressed others.
Under this calm surface, there is most likely an undercurrent lurking.
Once it breaks out, it's enough to shatter people to pieces!
On the one hand, Wang Chen asked the Xi family to inquire about information for him and monitor the activities of each family.
On the other hand, he decided to go down to the neighborhoods in person to have an in-depth understanding of the situation in Xuncheng District.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger. When it comes to information, Wang Chen only believes in what he sees and hears.
Even in the Xi family, he only has partial trust!
